Making a random number guessing game (exit failure? wtf)
Hi, this is my first post here. Hopefully you fine people could be of assistance. I'm somewhat of a newbie at C++; I just went to Borders and bought a book on it and I'm teaching myself along with a casual programming class at school (high school, that is; not in college yet).
I know this is overly complicated, but as long as it works I'll worry more about a simplified version later. I put it into codepad.org and it said "exit failure". Whenever I use my regular compiler (Dev CPP) to run it, it gives me no errors but closes instantly, despite my use of the system ("pause") statement. Any help?
The source code (don't judge me for my choice of words in cout sections :p):
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int t, l1, l2, l3, l4, l5, x1, x2, x0;
t = 1;
// Variables:
// L - Listed Item
// l1 = unlimited
// l2 = 10
// l3 = 8
// l4 = 5
// l5 = 1
// X - User Input
// x1 = List Selection
// x2 = Guess
// x0 = Try Again?
// t - Attempt Count
start:
{ srand((unsigned)time(0));
int random_integer, x;
int lowest = 1, highest = 1000;
int range = (highest - lowest) + 1;
for(int index=0; index<1; index++) {
random_integer = lowest+int(range * rand() / (RAND_MAX + 1.0));
return random_integer;
}
cout << "--------------------------------------------------";

Yes, I handwrote the whole thing other than the random number function because I was lost with those.
Today, my programming class teacher gave us basically the same program without knowing I'm working on this and said it took him 10 minutes. I've probably spent 3-4 hours on this. :rolleyes:
